Wonderful high tea, themed with Winnie the Pooh. Every item was thought through carefully to incorporate the theme. They look great in the pictures but even better when you taste them! It seems that they will be having a Harry Potter theme also coming up!!!

High tea at Shakespeare is one of my favorite things to do in San Diego. The teas and treats are yummy and presentation is always adorable. The ladies who go dress to impress and they do some really fun theme teas as well. I went to a Harry Potter themed tea in October and the decorations were amazing!

Every single aspect of our Tea was exceptional. The food and tea were both delicious. SO many courses, arrive hungry. They are small bites but that is deceiving. We ate every single thing and were positively stuffed! The service was wonderful, the waitress was very knowledgeable and answered all our food/tea/culture questions! The shop inside is a ton of fun. We purchased more tea, some brittish snacks and candies too! They have hand pies inside. We will be sure to purchase those the next time we're in town.

I wanted to try traditional afternoon tea and was not disappointed. Luckily for me, I manage to get a reservation on last minute. They offered almost sixty varieties of tea. Food was excellent and service was too. Only drawback will be too much caffeine as you enjoy the tea.

review for their afternoon tea only!my favorite of the SD teas i’ve been to (coral tree, westgate hotel). good balance of savory and sweet finger foods, everything was super tasty! preferred their food over the tea, 1 teapot per person.menu changes every month. you can make a reservation by phone 6 months in advance. any changes or cancellations must be done by 6 pm the night before, unless you have a larger group, stricter change policy.they also have themed teas! some are very popular and sell out quickly. check their instagram for the menus and special events.

Had a wonderful afternoon having English breakfast tea with some amazing Cornish pasties and sausage rolls. I definitely recommend it.

I give this place 5 stars although it’s not as fancy as some others, this place is very genuine and delicious! It’s a way to try British food and amazing tea! What I love about this place is they let you choose other teas to try! I love coming in the spring time since the seating is outside. Very lovely place

Perfect cozy afternoon tea. It was all lovely! I used to go to tea when visiting family in Canada. Most of the tea places I have been to in the US are kitschy, But this one was nice and didn't feel hokey.Lots of tea choices. The food has options for vegetarians and vegans, so that was appreciated by my friend who prefers vegetarian meals.
